    Damn!

    I LOVE THIS PHOTOGRAPH! The color, the tone, the symetry of your body. It reminds me of the “shower photos” from a few months ago.

    You keep surprising me with your talent.

    You take the most amazing portraits! So creative and unique.

    Nice tat, as well.

    the backdrop makes it look professional. the sepia rocks. and aye-aye to the symmetry.

    Thank you very much. Taking this one kind of reminded me of those shots, too, Billie. Different tone, but something similar going on with my process for the photo.

    Thanks, BouBou. Sometimes this self-portrait thing is really very difficult to pull off, but it certainly does push my creativity trying to keep it interesting every day.

    CG: Professional? Ha! That’s a sheet clamped to a bookshelf.

    this shot amazes me. that you not only conceived of it but executed in so very well.

    you are the definition of creative.
